the base ball championship of the world
reached this city from Washington about .
O'Clock, and at once went to the grounds.

the world, as they were defeated
by the Detroit boys this afternoon,

About Birds.

The people of this country spend an
nuaIIy over So. 900, 600 for singing birds,
writes a New York correspondent All
the warbling in Italian and German from
behind the footlights does not equal in
cost, therefore, the twittering of the
feathered pets in guided cages. Nearly
500, 600 birds are imported into this
country every year Two large houses
on Park row handle the majority of
them, and in a talk with one of the
members of a firm l was told that the
finest birds we get are the canarics from
the Hartz Mountains in Germany. The
genuine birds, " he said, ''sel for from 50
to $25 apiece, according to their singing
ability. l suppose there are 400 600
canaries imported each year at least,
Then come finches, linncts, love birds
and parrots. The rarcst bird we have
had yet is the king parrot. 1t is a per
feet rainbow in coIors. We have only
had two this year" This house sends
birds all over the country and into Can

a query put to him by Indian p,rishioners

they invariably asking him to bless ''the
heart of the cross" That phrase, the

finally he contrived to get holdof one of
the crosses brought to him for blessing,
and found in the interior a hollow, in
which was Il small owl, the sacred bird,
the tecolote of the Aztecs. Then he
knew why the Indians had been so
anxious that the heart of the cross should

them. During the summer gather about
a bushcl of flies in these traps, and these

What browns Good Swimmers.

l would not be at all astOnished if
numerous cases of drowning, in which
the victim is a good swimmer, were due
to rush Of blood to the brain, producing
insensibility. The common explanation
is that the strong swimmer, who is seen
to sink suddenly, was taken with
cramp. But from my experience | am
led to think that it is not cramp, but
sort of apoplexy that strikes men in such
oaeos aud renders them completely help
less. If it was merely cramp Of ii leg
or arm | do not believe that strong men
would sink suddenly and almost without
struggle as we see that they do in 50
many cases. Every one who reads the
papers will recall numerous instances at
the seashOre and at every bathing resort
where these mysterious drownings take
PLACE. l never knew any one to try to
account for them except by the cramp
theory. The medical men ought to study
the matter and see if there IS not some
ground for the belief that apoplexy, pro-
duced by pressure of blood on the brain,
is not more likely to be the cause of
death in the water than drowning in
consequence of cramp.- Rochester Post

Handling Vast Sums Daily.

John p. Ritter, the assistant manager
of the Clearing House here, writes Foster
Coates from New York, has probably
seen and handled more than any man in
the world. He has been more than 22
years in the institution. All the money
received and paid out in balances passes
through his hands. The daily balances
run from 5000, 600 to $1,000, 600, and
in one instance as high as $15, O00 600
Mr. Ritter has handled these vast sums
day after day for years without
making an error Of penny.
A rough estimate of the total
amount that has passed through his
hands at the clearing house would be be-
tween $50, 600, 900, 900 and S31 600, 600,
600 This amount has not been handled
in the form of notes, bonds or other ne
gotisble securities, but in actual cash
The largest legal tender issued by the
government is for SO, 900. These bills
are plentiful enough in the clearing
house, where they greatly facilitate bust
ness, making it quite easy to handle the
enormous sums necessary from bank to
bank each day

An 0pium-Palace Hell.

A writer in the North China
Herald describes the Nan-gin-tsin,
The greatest opium den in China.
1t is known throughout the length
and breadth of the empire to the
Chinese. The throngs visiting II
represent all stations of life, from
the coolie to the wealthy merchant
or the small mandarin. One re.
quires a strong stomach to stand
the sickening fumes with which
the air inside is thickened. The
clouds OF smoke, the dim light.
the numbers of reclining forms
with distorted faces bent over the
small flames at which the pipes
are lighted, cause the novice a
sickening sensation In the center
OF the lower room hangs one OF
the finest Chinese lamps; the cell.
ing is OF rlchly-carved wood, while
the painted walls are thickly inlaid
with a peculiarly marked marble.
Numerous doors on all sides lead to
the smokers apartments. In the
outer portion of the building
stands a counter covered with little
boxes of the drug ready for smok-
ing, which a dozen assistants are
hept busy handing ont TO the ser
wants who wait upon the habitues
OF the place. The average daily
receipts are said to be about 81, 600.
The drug supplied in each class is
much about the same both in quail
ity and quantity ; it is the differ
ence i'll the pipes hat regulates
the price The best kinds are
made OF ivory, the stem being OF
ten inlaId with stones. In the
most expensive the lounge upon
which the smoker recIines is of fiue
velvet, witt, pill ows of the same
material the frames of each
couch are inlaid with mother Of
pearl and Jade, and the whole air
of these rooms is one of sensuous
luxury. In the poorer section will
be seen many wearers of The tat
tered yellow and gray robes of
Buddhist and Tavist priests. The
common belief is that the opium
sleep is attended by a mild, pleas
urable delirum, but this is the ex-
ception, not the rule. There Is
accommodation for $50 smokers at
a time, and there is seldom a va
cancy very long.
